What people say

Jordan and Emily
"This is the big main square in the La Candelaria region of Bogota. It's beautiful and lined with government buildings with gorgeous mountains in the background. There is, of course, a Simon Bolivar statue that sits in the middle of the square (he was the man who liberated South America). There are a thousand pigeons, lots of Llama's and vendors selling foods and coffee in the morning and an alcoholic punch in the everning called Aromatica! 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲: be aware of your belongings, this can be a hot spot for pickpockets! "
"Cool plaza to walk around in the heart of the La Candelaria. Surrounded by important buildings like the mayor's office and the cathedral. Lots of street vendors and performers to enjoy. "
"Try the traditional drink Aromática, a herbal tea infused with a variety of herbs and fruits. It's usually enjoyed with a touch of Agua Ardiente."

Tag us in your planning and travels so we can see your experiences in this amazing country! @EricandSarah_ *Full transparency: this is not an ultra-budget guide. We include a range of free to paid activities in each place, a variety of restaurant options and mid-range priced accommodations (mostly Airbnbs). It's based on our own travel style which we'd consider "medium budget" - we like to save money but are also willing to splurge on certain comforts and activities. We believe there is valuable information for any type of traveller though!
